Italy

Italy and Sri Lanka have had very close ties since the Roman Empire with emissaries of Sri Lanka visiting the emperors many times. Modern relations with Italy continues with the founding of the Embassy of Sri Lanka in Italy in 1952. Some 80,000 Sri Lankan expatriates are estimated to live in Italy.

Italy is has been the home to many proud civilizations such as Etruscans, Samnites, Phoenicians, Greeks, and the Romans. Its rich architecture retains many of the remarkable landmarks from these proud civilizations. Italy is perhaps known mostly for the many great artists, and last but not least as the home to Pizza!
